Do you have an Internet link to more information about the Webcasts?  I
tried the NCFL and U.S. Dept. of Education Web sites, but I couldn't find
anything.

Thanks,

	With the current emphasis on scientifically-based research in Adult 
	Education, I thought these web casts might be of interest to many of
you.

	Scientifically Based Reading Research in Adult Education: An Even
Start 
	Perspective

	The U.S. Department of Education is hosting a series of three
interactive 
	Web casts addressing the adult education component in Even Start
programs.

	The goals of the series are to:
	o       increase understanding of scientifically based reading
research in 
	the field of adult education,
	o       expand knowledge of adult reading assessments and connection
to 
	practice, and
	o       offer a variety of scientifically based strategies that can
be 
	shared with your program staff members.

	Each of the three Web casts targets one of the above goals. The
first Web 
	cast broadcast on June 30, 2005 summarized scientifically based
reading 
	research in adult education. The second Web cast on July 28 focused
on 
	adult reading assessment to practice. This Web cast is now available
on the 
	NCFL Web site (http://www.famlit.org). Please hold the date of
September 22 
	from 2:00 - 3:00 pm EST for the final Web cast on research-based
practice 
	in adult reading instruction.

	Although the Web cast series is designed specifically for Even Start
State 
	Coordinators, the information provided is helpful to anyone in the
field of 
	family literacy or adult education.

	Cheryl Keenan
	Director, Division of Adult Education and Literacy
